Apparently I have many addictions.....

....I am addicted to collecting cool software. Now that doesn't mean that I actually am an expert at using said software, I just collect it. LOL!! One of my favorite softwares out there in software land right now is Microsoft OneNote. I have been using it for about 4 years. I discovered it when I was in college and started using it. However, the version I used was the first and still had a long way to go. A while back I upgraded to the newest version and have been using it for many projects.

Like the name of the software indicates, it's an electronic notebook of sorts. I have created 5 different notesbooks so far with various tabs within each notebook. You can cut and paste from any program or website. And what is cool about cuting/pasting from a website, it automatically creates a hyperlink in OneNote to the site you c/p from. That is a totally cool feature, since I don't have to copy the link after the c/p and can go right to the site if I need additional information later on.

My scrapbook notebook is full of my favorite layouts from all over the web, various different sketches from many different places and cards. This method of organizing little bits and pieces from all over is a much better method than creating a folder and saving. Also, you can use an electronic pen to make notes...or if you don't have an electronic pen, you can still make notes with a text box. Super cool!!! Can't do that in the standard computer folder...well if you can, I hadn't ever figured it out. Microsoft is offering a 60 day free trial, so go check it out.

Check out my little blogging helpers. Now if they would just learn how to type!



Okay, before any of you say "But I thought you weren't going to get close to the new kittens", I just want to say ..... I used my 300mm lens to get this shot of two of the new kittens. So there was sufficient distance between me and the cute little guys and there was no touching involved.....
But aren't they the cutest?!! No, they are not coming into my house, so all yall stop placing your bets! It ain't happening! Swear! Girl Scouts honor!!!!
